Cancellations due to Covid -19 

Participants coming from abroad will be entitled to a full refund in case of a government mandated travel restriction (either from the side of the Austrian government or from the country of origin) due to Covid-19.

Participants who are unable to attend the Academy due to an active Covid-19 infection within their nuclear family, will be eligible for a full refund (minus €150- administrative fee) upon presentation of a laboratory-verified positive PCR test result, which may be no older than 3 weeks prior to the start date of the Academy. In the event that we are prevented from holding the Academy due to Covid-related Austrian government regulations, the Academy will be cancelled by July 5^thand 100% of the course fee will be reimbursed to all participants.  In the unlikely event that the Academy were to be cancelled due to unanticipated Covid-19 restrictions after July 5^th, no course fees or other costs will be reimbursed. We will however monitor the Austrian Covid situation closely in the weeks immediately prior to the Academy and will make every effort to avoid a cancellation after July 5^th.

Please always indicate your bank account information in the written cancellation.  Thank you!
